Alice Anderson Obituary

Alice served and helped many people at Elsie's Café, Sieg's Supper Club, Empire Gas, Fall Creek School Board and Wausau Supply.

She enjoyed a good cup of coffee, good friends, helping others and flowers. Alice, along with her Fall Creek Girls, were lifelong members of St. Paul Lutheran Church.

Alice's passion was entertaining and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she cherished dearly.
